Summer Schedule

• Tuesday June 27,  3-4 PM  Clark 271, Organizational Meeting
  
• Tuesday July 11,  3-4 PM  Clark 271.  Papers to be discussed:  1)  PhyloGibbs: A Gibbs Sampling Motif Finder that Incorporates Phylogeny, 2) Practical Strategies for Discovering Regulatory DNA Sequence Motifs. 
  
• Tuesday July 25, 3-4 PM  Clark 271.  Papers to be discussed:  1) Applications of Phylogenetic Networks in Evolutionary Studies,  2) Phylogenetic Super-Networks from Partial Trees  (see attached pdf file on this page), and 3) The Net of Life: Reconstructing the Microbial Phylogenetic Network.  The first two articles use the software SplitsTree (for generating phylogenetic networks) which I will discuss.
  
• Please also note MBL Molecular Evolution Workshop  from July 23 to August 4, 2006.
  
• Tuesday August 8, 3-4 PM  Clark 271.  Papers: 1) Relaxed Phylogenetics and Dating with Confidence,  2) Model Selection and the Molecular Clock,  3) Molecular Clocks: Four Decades of Evolution.  The first paper uses the software BEAST  which I will describe.
  
• Tuesday August 22, 3-4  PM Clark 271.  To be announced.
